1984 Map of Harbor Beach

About this map

The agricultural thumb of Michigan is defined by a dense network of man-made drainage systems like Baranski Drain and Cramp Drain that support the fertile plains between Bad Axe and the Lake Huron shoreline. Along the coast, maritime history is anchored by the Lighthouse at Harbor Beach and prominent landmarks like White Rock and Hardwood Point. The interior landscape reveals the significant footprint of the Minden City State Game Area, which includes a notable Peat Bog, alongside the Sanilac State Game Area. Industrial and transportation infrastructure of the mid-1980s is clearly visible through the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line and small aviation hubs such as the Huron County Memorial Airport and Neuman Landing Field. Small lakeside and inland settlements, including Port Hope, Forestville, and Deckerville, are mapped alongside family-named landmarks like Hallway Corners.
